Dear Sirs

 

Qell Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)

 

We have acted as Cayman Islands counsel for the Company in connection with the registration statement on Form F-4 prepared by Lilium B.V. (the “Company”), including all amendments or supplements thereto, and filed with the United States Securities and Exchange commission under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), as amended, (including its exhibits, the “Registration Statement”) filed in connection the business combination contemplated by the business combination agreement dated as of 30 March 2021 by and among the Company, Lilium GmbH, a German limited liability company, Queen Cayman Merger LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Merger Sub”) and Qell, pursuant to which several transactions will occur, and in connection therewith, Qell will merge with Merger Sub (with Merger Sub being the surviving company) and the Company will become the ultimate parent company of Lilium GmbH.

 

This opinion letter is given in accordance with the terms of the Legal Matters section of the Registration Statement.

 

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined the documents and instruments listed in Schedule 1 hereto.

 

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 hereto, which we have not independently verified.

 

We are Attorneys-at-Law in the Cayman Islands and express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands in force and as interpreted by the courts of the Cayman Islands at the date hereof.

 

Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3 hereto, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the Cayman Islands:

 

 

The Cayman Islands firm known as “Campbells” converted from a firm to a Cayman Islands limited liability partnership known as “Campbells LLP” on 25 February 2021.

 

 

 

 

1The statements under the caption “Material Cayman Islands Tax Considerations” in the Registration Statement, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of Cayman Islands law, fairly summarise in all material respects such legal matters and are the opinion of Campbells.

 

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction, who may rely upon this opinion as if addressed to them, and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent. This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to this firm in the Registration Statement under the heading “Legal Matters”.

 

Yours faithfully

 

/s/ Campbells
